Kelly's Bio

"Ability May Get You To The Top, But It Takes Character To Keep You There."

Kelly's has a love of NASCAR that borders on obsession. Since July of 2001 she has been hooked on this fast paced sport and it only took 160 laps at the Daytona International Speedway and a Dale Earnhardt Jr. victory to seal her fate.

Since then she has made NASCAR a major part of her life and plans for that to continue as she earns her Bachelors Degree in Corporate Communications in hopes of becoming a journalist for the sport she loves so very much.

You can normally find her in front of the TV whenever there are cars on the track: practice, qualifying and racing. And if it's July you'll find her at the Daytona International Speedway, her home away from home, for the July Coke Zero 400, a tradition that she and her dad started back in 2004 and have continued ever since.

She also attended the 50th Daytona 500 and cheered Ryan Newman to victory, as well as the first race of the 2009 Chase in New Hampshire that was captured by Mark Martin.

Kelly lives, eats and breathes NASCAR and hopes that the fun/work that she does here on Bleacher Report will open up many doors for her upon her graduation.

Kelly can be contacted through Bleacher Report, Facebook and twitter (@KellyCrandall) or Kac08dj@yahoo.com
